Hello, all!!
I am Shin from South Korea. I am a junior, and it's been almost 3 years since I came to Minnesota. I was totally nervous when I first came here. Everything was new...new people, new house, different language, and culture. However, now I feel I belong here in beautiful Minnesota.

Hello everyone! My name is Jia Guo. I feel quite honored to join this big family as an International Ambassador. I will endeavor my efforts to serve all International newcomers, hoping to make you feel loved here as a part of a big family.
